To my fellow posters across the pond,

I am coming over to England sometime near the end of Feb. or start of March to visit London, take a tour of Old Trafford and try to catch a United match or two (expensive I know) but I was hoping to meet some of you in person and maybe have some of you show me around your neck of the woods.

I will have more details in the next few weeks about when exactly I am coming and where I will be staying but I am looking forward to meeting some of you in person and having a fun trip. I think it would be fun to set up a BigSoccer pub crawl or something so we can all hang out and have a good time. I did have a few questions about cheap places to stay in London and anyone with any info on that would be a big help.

Where are you looking at staying, in a hotel or hostel? The Generator in Russell Square is apparently quite good and cheap, lot of young students come over and stay there. It's over the road from my mum's house. If you need anything drop me a PM fella.

In other news, this is an excuse to get apps and Case to meet in person and record the hilarity that ensues, then bung it on YouTube!!!!!!!!

So Hendon sort of way? When I think of North West London I think Harrow, Brent Cross, Finchley etc. I went to school in Hendon and shagged the fittest bird EVER in Cricklewood. She was fine.

Everywhere in London is lovely...or not :p

It is funny how people 10 years ago went on that if you walked through Kings Cross you would get murdered, raped or both, but I lived there for most of my life and I had one fight. That was it.

No, due to the exchange rate being so crap for the US $ I am holding off so I don't end up with less than half my money between euro and pound exchanges. I think the winter is looking more likely than now. I just don't want to end up having half the money I thought I would once I get over there and being able to do the things I want to do.
